Twitpic of the week

Reflections. With so many glass buildings on the strip there are almost limitless opportunities to catch a glimpse of a distorted reality. A manifestation of euphoria captured by @evilsamgraham and shared so all can fondly recall those moments when you realize the countdown to passing out has begun and the journey to your room needs to begin immediately.

Next week, the Stevens Group will share the name of first property built from the ground up on Fremont street in almost 40 years. Interestingly enough, they own that property too. Today it’s known as the D but it opened in 1980 as the Sundance. Another interesting factoid, once the new Landmark opens (that’s what I'm guessing it will be named) it will mean the Stevens group owns the oldest and newest building in Las Vegas. That’s because they also own the building at 1 Fremont St, also known as Golden Gate.
